On the world stage, the increase in temperatures due to global warming is already a reality
that has become one of the main challenges faced by the scientific community. Since …

Defense against stress and active suppression of growth are two complementary strategies
by which plants respond to adverse environments. Although beneficial for plant survival …

Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) has a dual function as a signal and homeostatic regulator of
sucrose levels in plants. In source leaves, Tre6P regulates the production of sucrose to …

The current trajectory for crop yields is insufficient to nourish the world's population by 2050.
Greater and more consistent crop production must be achieved against a backdrop of …

Drought and heat are major abiotic stresses that reduce crop productivity and weaken global
food security, especially given the current and growing impacts of climate change and …

Maize ARGOS 8 is a negative regulator of ethylene responses. A previous study has shown
that transgenic plants constitutively overexpressing ARGOS 8 have reduced ethylene …

Crop productivity depends on activity of meristems that produce optimized plant
architectures, including that of the maize ear. A comprehensive understanding of …

The vast majority of agricultural land undergoes abiotic stress that can significantly reduce
agricultural yields. Understanding the mechanisms of plant defenses against stresses and …

Drought tolerance involves mechanisms operating at different spatial and temporal scales,
from rapid stomatal closure to maintenance of crop yield. We review how short-term …

Sugars play a key role in fruit quality, as they directly influence taste, and thus consumer
acceptance. Carbohydrates are the main resources needed by the plant for carbon and …
